firewire network

[Wojciech Puchar]

from fwip manual

---------------


      The fwip driver provides standard IP over FireWire (IEEE 1394) based 
on
      the protocols described in RFC 2734 and RFC 3146.

      The firewire(4) and fwohci(4) drivers must be configured in the 
kernel as
      well.

      This driver supports polling(4) as well if it is compiled with the
      DEVICE_POLLING option.

i have two machines with firewire, both are servers sits side to side and 
exchange lots of data between them. how can i connect them through 
firewire?

are some special cables OK?

and fwip assigns
         lladdr 0.c5.ba.74.0.0.1a.4d.a.2.ff.fe.0.0.0.0

does it mean firewire "network" can be like ethernet - with more than 2 
ends?

please give me URL about it. thanks!
